Monthly Rentals in Makapu‘u Point

Staying at Karibu Cottage was a highlight of our trip to Hawaii. The living space was comfortable, modern and very well- equipped. We were welcomed with a nicely stocked refrigerator. The unit had delightful cross breezes with loads of natural light, and the bed was excellent. It had a great lanai, a fully private entrance and yard with a gas grill, complete beach equipment, and a designated parking spot. John was very helpful and quickly responsive to a few questions we had at arrival and about media access. The location enabled us to get up for sunrise over the Mōkūlua most mornings after a very short walk. Kailua town and its farmer’s market, grocery stores and great restaurants ( Buzz’s, Paia Fish House) are a short drive away. While we only had the pleasure of meeting them once during our stay, it is clear that Melinda and John put a lot of thought and care into the space and we are very appreciative. We would love to make a return visit! Sunrises here are gorgeous!

Krista’s place looked good in photos, but I had one concern. I’m not a fan of pull-out beds; they’re usually uncomfortable with thin mattresses. But I read a review saying the bed was comfortable so I gave it a try. And I’m glad I did. The bed was solid and comfortable. The room was clean, quiet and private. It had everything you would need. Fine for one person. Maybe a bit tight for two, unless you were newlyweds. All in all, a great place in a nice, convenient location, near beaches, restaurants, Costco, supermarket. Would stay again.

Our stay was fantastic! The property is nestled right up against the lush Hawaiian mountains, creating a truly beautiful and very immersive experience. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. We will certainly miss those cool afternoon breezes. The pool was fantastic, very clean and such a joy to relax in. What really made our stay special, though, were the hosts—they were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We felt so well taken care of and would highly recommend this location. Thanks again Hosts!

Such a lovely, welcoming and comfortable space. Everything we needed. Absolutely loved the deck in the morning sun surrounded by lush tropical trees and plants. The short walk to the beach was a tremendous gift, too. The perfect package for us!
